Gonna raise me an army, some tough sons of bitches /// Recruit my army from the orphanages

Heading ’em off at the pass

October 25, 2006

It has been brought to my attention that, this Friday night, ABC will air an episode of 20/20 that supposedly exposes alleged hypocrisies of mine. These charges are blatant fabrications, as I believe will be self-evident to anyone who views the program.

In the meantime, I will post here a portion of the transcript of my 20/20 interview with John Stossel. The evidence—or lack thereof—speaks for itself.

Herewith:

John Stossel: “Mr. Slaton, in your blog ‘Fighting Fire with Unlit Matches,’ you assert that, and I quote, ‘the manners, grooming, and general cleanliness of the American male are in steep decline’—yet here, in an email to one ‘NAME REDACTED,’ dated October 25th, you provide a link to Urban Dictionary’s definition of the slang term [skeptical, puzzled pause] ‘XXX XXXXXXX.’ How do you reconcile this?”
